Pumpkin season is still
upon us as we say good- bye to Neewollah, and
hello to Thanksgiving.
These iconic fruits (be- cause they blossom from
flowers) have become
a staple in our homes
around the holiday sea- son, and are usually associated with the Thanksgiving table in the form of
soup, pie, or even a centerpiece. But what about
the seeds? The most nutritious part! Not only are
they considered a whole grain full of fiber, but they
also contain plenty of zinc to ward off those nasty
winter colds, and these magical seeds have been
found to be great source of plant based omega-3
fats, to keep your heart healthy after all of that holiday eating. If your pumpkin is no longer serving
its decorative purpose as the centerpiece on your
table, it’s time to turn it into a salty and sweet treat
that everyone can enjoy.
